Let's tag nightly releases, so that it is possible to get the same unreleased binary and not only the latest.

Official releases are not happening very often (which is fine), yet the alternative to bleeding edge is only nightly installation (https://docs.surrealdb.com/docs/installation/nightly).

The problem with nightly is that there is currently no way to get a consistent binary version later. On each nightly release the docker container on docker.com is replaced (https://hub.docker.com/r/surrealdb/surrealdb/tags) and the OS-specific URLs do not have any version identfiers: https://download.surrealdb.com/nightly/surreal-nightly.darwin-arm64.tgz.

Would it be possible to tag those releases with the version, like: 1.0.0+20231205.8e401a9.dirty ?

$ surreal version
1.0.0+20231205.8e401a9.dirty for macos on aarch64

That way I would be able to pin a particular nightly version and be sure, that it does not change "under my feet" on CI or my next installation. Also my team would be able to have a consistent nightly across our machines.
